'Ukuzalwa Kwesizwe' Uphengululo: Ipilisi Ebukrakra (Kodwa Enamandla)

Kugxilwe kwimpikiswano, kushukuxwa kushushu kuyo izizathu zokuziphatha kunye nokukhathazwa ziimpendulo ezixubeneyo ukusukela oko kwaqala ukubonwa kwisekethe yomnyhadala wefilimu eSundance, eToronto nakwezinye iindawo, umboniso bhanyabhanya onobundlobongela waseNate Parker. Ukuzalwa kwesizwe Ekugqibeleni ivela phantsi kwemicroscope yemidiya kwaye ifake ukunyuka kwayo kwilizwe lenkcubeko laseMelika kule veki. Ifilimu ibalisa ibali eliyinyani likaNat Turner, ikhoboka le-antebellum eVirginia elakhokelela kwimvukelo emnyama ngo-1831 kwaye lakhokela ukuvukela ukubulawa kwabantu ngokuchasene nabanini bamasimi amhlophe okukhokelele kwilahleko yabamhlophe abangama-65. Yachithwa ngeentsuku ezimbini, kodwa iziphumo zahlala iinyanga kwaye zabonisa ixesha elitsha loloyiko, ukunganyamezelani kunye nokonakala kokuziphatha okukhokelele kwimfazwe nohlaziyo. Kungoko isihloko Inkqubo ye- Ukuzalwa kwesizwe. Kwisiphithiphithi esasigubungele uMzantsi, phantse amakhoboka angama-200 abulawa ngenkani ngokuziphindezela. U-Turner wafihla iinyanga ezimbini ngaphambi kokuba umkhosi omhlophe umbambe. Iikhathalogu zeemovie ukuya kuthi ga kwinqanaba. Iyabasindisa ababukeli kukungcangcazela kokusweleka kukaTurner, xa wayehlikihliwe, ehlinzekwa ephila, enqunyulwa intloko kwaye ezotywe wahlulwa-hlulwa waba yimicu yokubamba ukuze bonke babone. Ke ligazi elincinci kwaye liyoyikeka kunokuba Iminyaka eli-12 ndilikhoboka. Kodwa musa ukwenza impazamo ngayo; umkhosi wababhikishi kungekho zicwangciso zokuzibona Inkqubo ye- Ukuzalwa kwesizwe iyakhula.

Ingxabano ayikho malunga ne-movie, kodwa malunga noParker, umlawuli wefilimu, umvelisi, umbhali weskripthi, inkwenkwezi kunye nomkhuthazi oyintloko. Ekuqaleni watyholwa njengomdlali ophambili wokunikezelwa kwamabhaso okuphela konyaka, uParker wafumanisa ukuba i-blitz yakhe yasesidlangalaleni ikhutshiwe ngaphandle kwentsimbi ngaphambi kokuba ibali lokuvula likaNat Turner ligqitywe kukuphinda kwenzeke ngokuhlazisayo kweParker eyadlulileyo-ejikeleze ihlazo lekhampasi ka-1999 apho wayetyholwa ngokudlwengula omnye umfundi kwiYunivesithi yasePenn State. Ukhululwe ematyaleni, kodwa uJean Celestin, owayehlala naye ngelo xesha, owayebambisene naye ngoku Inkqubo ye- Ukuzalwa kwesizwe Umbhali-mbhali, wafunyanwa enetyala lokudlwengula umtyholwa wabo oneminyaka eli-18 ubudala. Isigwebo saphoswa kwisibheno ngenxa yesiluleko esingasebenziyo kwaye ixhoba kamva lazibulala ngo-2012. Wonke umntu onxulumene nefilimu uxakekile esenza umonakalo, kodwa isiphelo Inkqubo ye- Ukuzalwa kwesizwe ihlala iyingxaki. Kuba iyifilimu malunga nokungabikho kokusesikweni, le mpikiswano ibonakala iyinto engaqhelekanga, kodwa ikwayifilimu apho ukulandelelana okubalulekileyo kulandelelwano kubandakanya imeko ebonakalayo ecacileyo yokuhlaselwa ngokwesondo, ekwabonakala ngathi ayihlekisi.

Ukuthatha okokugqibela: ngaba kulungile? Ewe, ewe kunye nohayi. Njengombhalo osemazantsi obalulekileyo kwisahluko esinetyhefu kwimbali yaseMelika edla ngokudlula kwinkqubo yemfundo (ukufundisa iMfazwe yamakhaya kuhlala kulibaziseka kude kube sesikolweni esiphakathi kwizifundo ezininzi zembali yase Mzantsi, kwaye kuthambile) kufanelekile ngaphezulu kokugxothwa. Iimpawu eziphikisanayo zikaTurner-ezikrelekrele, ezinamabhongo, ezenkolo kunye nomfundisi ozifundisayo ngokufunda iincwadi ezithathiweyo kunyana womnini-masimi-zibhalwe kakuhle, njengendawo yakhe ethembekileyo emehlweni kaSamuel Turner, inkosi enobulungisa, edlalwa ngu-Armie Hammer . Isivumelwano phakathi kwekhoboka nomnini saphela xa ukushumayela kukaTurner kwakhokelela kwizityhilelo ezimbi, kwaye imbewu yemvukelo yaqhuma yabulala emva kokuba umfazi wakhe edlwengulwe kwaye edlwengulwe kwaye wohlwaywa ngesibetho esiphantse sokubulala umntu omhlophe. Ibali lalibhalwe ngokufutshane ngakumbi kwinoveli kaWilliam Styron yowe-1967 Ukuvuma kukaNet Turner, ophumelele ibhaso lePulitzer. Kodwa izigcawu ezinamandla kwifilimu zihlala zihlanjululwa zizinto zokuzenzela, kwaye ukungalingani kweenkwenkwezi kwenziwa ngetini engenantliziyo. Ekugqibeleni ayikho enye into ngaphandle kwesiqhelo saseHollywood biopic, esifakwe ngomsindo ophalaza ijusi yerajisberry kuyo yonke ikhamera ene-graphic slash eyaneleyo kunye ne-flash ukujika isisu sakho.

Zineempazamo kodwa kufanelekile ukuba ziqwalaselwe, Inkqubo ye- Ukuzalwa kwesizwe Kufana nokuxelwa kwangaphambili kukagqirha okungathandekiyo: kunzima ukwamkela kodwa akunakwenzeka ukungahoyi.
